What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of T2DM patients with high medication adherence at Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The effectiveness of linagliptin and acarbose on glycemic control evaluated by reducing HbA1c during a 24 week follow-up in two groups

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Proportion of T2DM patients achieving a therapeutic glycemic response defined as HbA1c < 7.0% or a lowering of HbA1c ≥ 0.5%

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. To compare the composite endpoint (proportion of achieving HbA1c < 7.0% without gastrointestinal adverse events (GI AEs) and without an investigator defined hypoglycaemic event)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Patient satisfaction by Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) among linagliptin and acarbose initiators. The DTSQ would be completed at routine physician visits since initiation of the drug

    Measured: 24 weeks
